Details:

EMC Documentum Content Server may be susceptible to the following vulnerabilities:

? Privilege Escalation (CVE-2014-2506):

Authenticated non-privileged users are allowed to create system objects with super user privileges due to improper authorization checks being performed on these objects. This could be potentially exploited by a malicious attacker to gain unauthorized access to data or to perform unauthorized actions on Content Server.

CVSS v2 Base Score: 8.5 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C)
